"The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned." (Maya Angelou)

Road Songs (REM - The One I Love)

I was so hooked on 'Losing my Religion' that I oversaw this little gem until many years later when one of my mates managed to get a copy of the album on tape. This song stood out from the word go. Brilliant.

About Me

Look well to this day for it is life,
the very best of life. In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence, the joy of growth, the splendour of action, the glory of power. For yesterday is but a memory and tomorrow is only a vision. But today if well-lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day.
(Ancient Sanskrit Poem)
